76% vote for Lisbon in Kildare North, 70% in Tipp North

Latest results fed to the national count centre in Dublin Castle included a massive 76% in favour of Lisbon in Kildare North and another strong backing of 70% in Tipperary North.

As expected, Donegal North East has rejected the treaty again, but only narrowly with 52% to the 'No' camp.

Neighbouring Donegal South-West also narrowly rejected the treaty by just over 50%.

Almost a fifth of results have been relayed, with the 'Yes' camp set to secure almost two thirds of the national vote.

Waterford, Sligo North Leitrim and Dublin Mid-West also saw support for Lisbon swell dramatically since last June, with backing for the 'Yes' side running from the low to high sixties.
